Every Labview and C++ programmer in this year's game will be be doing whatever they do thanks to the benefits of multi-tasking (same as threading).
Most won't even know it -- some will and will exploit it to good advantage.
Even if we can't do POSIX threads, we can do multiple tasks.
Students who care about software should definitely understand concurrency.
